COCK FIGHT PHOTO PROJECT

I spent much of my time in the Philippines working on a photo story about cock fighting. It is a huge part of the culture… almost like baseball or basketball here. The way that the owner’s of the manok (rooster) raised the animals with such care and love and then threw them out in a ring to die was a really interesting dichotomy. Many of the owners explained that they often go hungry so that they can feed the manok.
